Sword and Shield Part 1

The Sword
2 Timothy 3:10–17

As we begin a new year, we’re launching The Sword and Shield Plan—a simple, biblical approach to spiritual growth rooted in God’s Word. In this message, Pastor Sean walks through 2 Timothy 3:10–17, where the Apostle Paul reminds us that Scripture is God-breathed, life-shaping, and essential for every believer.

You’ll discover why daily Bible reading matters, how God uses His Word to teach, correct, and equip us, and how consistent exposure to Scripture puts us on a path toward spiritual maturity.

We’ll also introduce the REAP method—a practical, repeatable way to read the Bible with purpose:

Read

Examine

Apply

Pray

If you want God’s Word to shape your life this year, this message will help you take the next step.
